Was just having an idle google and it seems there are quite a few places that do it, was wondering if anyone had gone down that route with any success? 550 engine strikes me (in my very limited knowledge) as possibly quite a good candidate given it's design age and the fact that it has a relatively lazy specific output i.e. it's not highly strung like say a 355

Yes we used 'superchips' on the 550 it made a big difference. Installation was done by RGS motorsport in Wellingborough
Interesting....can you define big difference? Did you get updated figures/dyno results after? (Or before and after for comparison?)

Is your 550 not fast enough, then?
sorry, somehow missed this!

Powerrrrrrr!

Of course it's plenty fast enough smile although clearly my prowess behind the wheel means that it is holding me back somewhat wink

But on a serious note, why not consider it if it's an option? Discrete reversible use of modern tech to make a classic better. You could bet Ferrari engineers would have if they could have at the time. Hell, might even get better fuel economy to make the greenies happy hehe
